I currently have a Netgear WNDRMACv2 (Equivalent of WNDR3800)... Has anyone tested any of these newer BB builds on these units and can provide comment on how well the following performs and comment on stability?

Am using 1.7.0 on a WNDR3800 with no issues. Currently 17 days uptime, and it was only rebooted 17 days ago because I made a boo boo with some code I was writing haha.

Have you noticed any improvement with the wireless range on 2.4ghz or 5ghz versus AA builds?

I kind of want to say yes... But I didn't do any testing to back it up.
Inconclusive I suppose.

I am running this build on a Netgear WNDR3700v1 with no issues as of yet. Great speeds on both wire and wireless.

Will let you all know if something changes.

Still bugs with reported download speed via UPNP when total transfert bytes is greater than 4GB and some troubles with bandwidth graphs:

After a little over 4 days uptime, all WiFi connections were dropped and unable to reconnect. A reboot resolved the issue.

This issue recurred; after a little under 4 days uptime; and with similar log entries. WiFi performance degraded in the prior hour or so. LAN connections remained operational.

I will now disable the "Guests" SSID and see if that makes any difference.

Try lower DHCP "Lease Time". 3... 6... 8 hours... Not 12H.

Thanks, I will drop the DHCP lease time back to 3 hours. But I am interested in why you make this suggestion. I accepted the 12hr default because I assumed that shorter lease times were only important on a network with a hi host churn rate.

Also, in this case, pretty much all of the WiFi connections have a static IP assignment to facilitate QOS.

I just upgraded to 1.7.X (From 1.7.0) and unlike others in this thread, still cannot see the Wifi Scheduling plugin. The Plugins page says it's installed, but Uninstall does nothing. Anyone any tips on how to fix this? I've tried setting the plugin_root to a different directory (by default on a USB stick) but that doesn't change anything either.

Anything I can do from the command line?

Thanks in advance!
